NX Importing excel into drafting (OLE object)

[MEGCLAY]

Hi All
Just updated to a new cad software NX 7.5
we use to import excel sheets in drafting with using OLE (embedded)
Just to display the sheet on the drawing
I am having trouble finding out how to do in NX

I could just import a a simple jpg
but I would like to be able to edit it
without having a external file
Thanks

(soon we will be using teamcenter with NX)

NX does not support importing Excel documents, as OLE objects, directly onto a Drawing, however you can create a Tabular Note which can be edited by importing the contents of a spreadsheet.

Thanks for the quick reply
Did not work my excel sheet it is too complex
It will do about 10% correct than just scramble (skip) the rest
for now It will be a simple jpg

Maybe not.

To improve the chances of this getting in a future version of NX, you should contact GTAC and have them open an Enhancement Request (ER). This will alert the developers that the feature is wanted (but doesn't guarantee that it will be implemented).
